Supermarket Grocery delivery, do you tip your driver?

[CornishTeaTime]

Im having a supermarket grocery delivery tonight.

Out of interest, do you tip your driver?

Blimey if I tipped everyone that delivered to the house, I would have no money left

Everyone? That must get really expensive.

Do you mean like the bus driver, every shop assistant, lollipop lady .....

We put the tip in a Christmas card and tape it to the bin. In a plastic pocket if it's due to rain!

No! We have 2 deliveries per week.

You don't even tip waiters/waitresses, taxi drivers and hairdressers?

Nope because ive already paid why give more we do have a living crisis.
Plus they get paid like everyone else.

No, it's never occurred to me to do so. I do give them a nice box of biscuits at Christmas though (not ones that they've just delivered!).

Many people don't tip anyone that's not unusual.

No, it's never occurred to me to do so. I'm a single parent on a low income and I reckon they earn about the same, or possibly more than I do 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t have food deliveries often, but I always give them a fiver. Not one of them has declined - and rightly so! They’re doing me a favour, because I only get a delivery when I’m too busy to go to the shop. I don’t tip any other delivery men though 😀

In what way is a person carrying out their job doing you a favour? It's literally what they are paid thier salary for. Bizarre 😁

Because I wouldn’t have food if he didn’t bring it to me 🤨

No!

But that's the job they've chosen to do? By that logic you should tip the postie, delivery drivers from any company you order from and anyone else who offers you a service?

My dad was an Asda delivery driver and they weren't allowed to accept tips when he was there

I do at Christmas or if it's an unusually large shop. And I email in if they've gone above and beyond - a few months ago, my bastard dog decided to go into the horizon chasing a pheasant and I missed our delivery. The lovely driver came back at the end of their shift to deliver it, so I gave her a £10 note and made sure that her manager was aware. She came back on another delivery a few weeks later and said my email had got her staff member of the week and she was chuffed to bits.

I let the Tesco man use my loo once.

Only at Christmas.

In the same way a waitress or barista can make the experience better I think delivery drivers can too. Some of them are really helpful and will check that eggs aren't broken etc, help you unload. Others literally don't make any extra effort so I tip the ones that do in the same way I would tip any other good service. Tipping the bin men now and again works a treat if you have rubbish, local evri guy who is really helpful and I never have missing delivers. I do t tip the Amazon guys as they literally just throw the parcel over the fence

Meant to say extra rubbish that doesn't fit in your bin

The pp isn't tipping them for doing a good job she's says she's tipping them simply because their job exists.

I was responding to the comment about tipping people just for doing their jobs

You’ve literally paid for that to happen, though. Nobody is doing you a favour.

I do, I have two tips I give out regularly:

1. don’t eat yellow snow
2. don’t buy tights for a mermaid

I would if they sent a link on a text or email or something as I rarely have cash.

However I think given the stingy lack of tipping culture in this country, this would be very unpopular.

In comparison I always give a 15% tip on the takeaway delivery apps.
